It should be noted, if you can get through Feinstein’s hysterical screaming of SQUIRREL, that m’lady has forgotten it was Senator Ted Cruz who “drafted the amicus brief signed by attorneys general of 31 states, which said that the D.C. handgun ban should be struck down” aka Heller.
Oopsy!
The Senior Senator from California Mrs. Sen. RockChunk could care less than nothing about the Constitution she claims to hold great respect for — hollow words she would immediately belie by ceding all interpretation of that Constitution to the Supreme Court. Contempt is too good for the likes of this one.
every time senator or congress critter tries to use seniority I always think they are right, they have been there to long.
war on the wymens
State Democrats rush a vote as GOP Senator steps away to nurse her baby
Now, now, sdferr, The good senator does have great respect for the constitution she swore to defend. She firmly believes of course everyone has the right to own a black powder musket fer squirrel huntin’ and such, just as the founders intended.
She’s got a 7th grade education at least, doncha know…
In a decent world she’d a been run out of town before the sun had set. But it isn’t a decent world: rather, it’s a stinking corrupt piece of shit world created and maintained by morons like Sen. Mrs. RockChunk. Sadly, she’ll never see the inside of a prison learning to make big rocks smaller.
DiFi spent some time with Wolf Blitzer this afternoon, reviewing her outrage. What they failed to do was to play any tape of the question Cruz asked her. But we did get reminded that she’s been on that committee for 20 years. Which I suspect is supposed to lead me to conclude that she’s taken over for those old dead racists that wrote the Bill of Rights.
Someone want to post a precis so I don’t actually have to listen to the woman speak?
I’d rather listen to Gilbert Gottfried, while nursing a hangover.
There’s a partial transcript here SBP. But it can’t capture the sour-curdled flavor of Sen. Mrs. RockChunk’s voice.
I NEED to find me some of them imploding bullets she spoke about.
Oh hells no Alec, what you need is what Sen. Mrs. RockChunk — dipping her hands in the blood of the sundered children of Sandy Hook — tells you you need: for there is no need undetermined by her high holy morality.
Feinstein, Boxer, and Pelosi the trifecta of twattery.
The opinion in Heller has something to say on the types of weapons covered by the Second Amendment, but not what she had in mind. Feinstein and Durbin are liars, morons, or some combination thereof.
Thanks, sdferr.
I’d love to see an edited version with her voice replaced by the “voice” of the teacher from the Peanuts cartoons.
She got CRUZED!!!
That is all.
SBP, here’s a time-saving paraphrase:
Short barreled shotguns being illegal, it would be a bit hard for a law abiding citizen to possess one it would seem.
It looked to me like that was a demonstration of the well practiced act of deflection. She HAS been in politics a very long time, and I’m sure it’s not the first time she’s been asked a question that is completely beyond the scope of her understanding and reason.
Just like it was when she was a kid, back before that upstart John Moses Browning was a gleam in his Daddy’s eye.
Today is the Ides of March. I note this for no particular reason, and with no specific intentions in mind other than noting a historical fact that this is the anniversary of the day when a particular god-king got severely fucked up.
Welcome to post-constitutional America Emmitt.
DiFi beclowned herself. In other breaking news, poop stinks, and water is wet.
How does a bullet implode?
A bullet implodes when you shoot it from the scary bayonet mount on that high-capacity clip.
Durbin lends DiFi support by lecturing Cruz: “There are no absolute rights.” Uh huh.
We need more of this from Cruz and others: confront and then stand back while they make a complete a$$ of themselves.
Op. cit.
Implosion only occurs if the gun is fired sideways in a drive-by.
(I’m’a gonna need a proper denouncement for that I’m thinking… )
Beware the EYES of MARGE.
And all from San Francisco. Coincidence? I think not.
[…] The Senior Senator from California beclowns herself [Darleen Click] | protein wisdom […]
“I’ve stuck my fingers in the wounds made by those guns..”
Milk and Moscone were killed with a handgun not an advanced, high capacity assault rifle killing machine. It was fired by another SF politician.. a nice bit of irony.
“Beclowned”… perfect.. hehehe
all from SF area but, I always blame the LA area voters since there are more of them.
My theory is that they know there politicians are a bunch of losers so they wont vote for them in statewide office. For some reason they think the that SF bay area politicians are better. At least this is how I explain Gavin Newsome and Kamela Harris getting elected to statewide office.
“Feinstein, Boxer, and Pelosi”
Hard to get any richer, older, or whiter, though I guess at least they are WYMMYN (or whatever the preferred spelling is nowadays). Well, I’m not sure about Boxer.
I really don’t know how the Dems can go on about “rich old white people”. Do they not have eyes? What about Heinz-Kerry, who could buy Romney out of pocket change? What about Harry “Rich Old White MORMON Man” Reid?
The best they can show in the upper echelons is Obama, and he’s half white!
Yes, a revolver at that.
What in the world is DiFi doing claiming she stuck her hands in fresh gunshot wounds? Is she some kind of ghoul (she asked rhetorically)? Were the EMTs there yet and has she shared this little tidbit before?
If Harvey Milk hadn’t been such a scheming self-serving douche, he and Muscone would still be alive. Goading an already humiliated and upset Dan White by moving into his office and jeering at him turned out to be a bad idea, eh Harvey?
Cruz missile.
(I stole that).
LA is more concerned with pop culture, leaving the Bay Area for the serious shit. Sacramento, of course, just follows orders.
“It exempts 2,271 weapons. Isn’t that enough for the people of the United States?”
I really do wish Cruz has made the comparison explicit, by asking which 2,271 books Congress would allow the American people to read. I mean, surely we don’t need more than a couple of thousand books. Who the hell reads books today, anyway?
“Sir, Congress is in the business of making law. The Supreme Court interprets the law. [If] they strike down the law, they strike down the law.”
I’m pretty sure that translates as “Fuck your Constitution. I’ll pass any fucking law I want, and I dare Roberts to try to overturn me.”
LA is more concerned with pop culture…
And boutique cupcakes. Don’t forget the cupcakes!
The Democrats like Feinstein, in the main, though joined too often by establishment ruling party Republicans in Congress, expressing this “Fuck your Constitution” view of their arbitrary role as willy-nilly legislators, truly are arrogantly playing with a fire they do not understand, and will hardly understand even as it breaks out upon their persons. I’ll have no sorrow for them in the event, however human they may claim to be, since lodged in any human claim is a human possession of the willfulness of their acts.
Cupcakes are the half ass substitute for bear-claws, kolaches*, cinnamon rolls, and strudel. Even donuts say “I care” more than a cupcake.
It’s a smaller crappier muffin with frosting on it. So damned sad.
*Yeah! Kolaches! Even bohunks do something right every once in a while!
I’m not sure how I feel about turnovers/tarts and scones. So I left them out. I think they are kind of send a pretentious message but are still good when you eat them.
…playing with a fire they do not understand, and will hardly understand even as it breaks out upon their persons.
Build a Congressman a fire, and he’ll stay warm for an evening. Set a Congressman afire, and he’ll stay warm for the rest of his life!
Kick them out of Congress and they might have to go and get a life. Probably a life of lobbying. But still.
Also I am picking on central Texas Bohemians when I say bohunk, not Pennsylvania Hungarians since I have no idea what they get up to off in whatever distant alien moon frontier they happen live in. I’m trying to piss off LOCAL people as per the traditions of the 60’s -90’s.
P?czki: God’s own pastry.
Paczki. Imagine a little cedilla thing hanging off the a.
I’m gonna go for it! Font gods be danged!
P?czki
Damn it! The preview lied!
Scones are just biscuits that are showing off.
I need to bake some kolaches. Or yeast raised coffee cake. Meine Deutsche genes compel me to bake every week.
I’m thinking of doing a sour cream apple pie tomorrow. I’m going to crumble the top crust instead of doing a proper lace though.
Bein’ ignorant I looked paczki up and learned some stuff. Like the name “ogonek” for the dangly bit, which faces opposite from a cedilla, and is apparently supposed to indicate a “nasality” in pronunciation of the letter “a”, so it comes out sounding something like “pawnszki” or thereabouts. Damn things look mighty tasty, however they’re pronounced.
I did pineapple upside-down cake earlier in the week and it’s about gone. Dutch apple pie is the way to go.
Those paczki look tasty. I bet I had them in Pittsburgh.
They are something like a jelly donut but more substantial with denser and more cake-style….donut stuff. I like ’em.
I’ll have to make my own then. The closest thing we have around here is Daylight Donuts and they aren’t all that.
February 21 was paczki day. The local Polish bakery (Well, Upper Crust isn’t exactly exclusively Polish but they do a range of Euro-stuff including Polish pastries) had a sign up and everything.
I think Sasha’s Russian Market does them sometimes too.
I liked what Bill Whittle said in yesterdays video. The miserable fucks (to paraphrase) are violating their oaths to protect the constitution by even proposing their anti-gun legislation.
Next time the old bag from California visits a foreign country, she otta be droned for the treasonous scum she is.
When I lived in Reading, PA the bakeries used to sell Fastnachts and golden syrup to dunk them in on Ash Wednesday. Fastnachts are raised yeast doughnuts made with mashed potatoes in the dough and deep fried. The syrup is kind of like a light molasses. They must be an acquired taste and one that I never acquired. I couldn’t get the kids to eat them, either. I think they are a Dutchy food from the Amish that live around there.
The Italian bakeries were a lot better, although Italian cookies suck. Very pretty, but tasteless.
Threadwinner.
This is at least the third thread that Squid has won.
No one told me there was a contest.
Same idea as your Fastnachts — the Poles make them to use up all the sweets and fats in the house before Lent, and they have plenty of both. I’ve never met anyone who didn’t like paczki, though (‘ceptin’ that Jews and Muslims aren’t supposed to eat them, because the authentic ones are fried in lard).
sdferr: that’s pretty close, but I think you have to be Polish to say it exactly right. Pontshki is the closest I can come in standard English orthography, but that’s not it, exactly (I can hear it in my head, but not necessarily pronounce it).
Now I’m thinking of a guy I used to know name of Przemyslaw (the l should have a slash across it). I got so I could say his name without him wincing, but it took a while.
heh SBP. I can’t say this one right either, though I’ve tried, but let this offering suffice.
That was the idea, Spies, as you say to use up all of the fats and sweets before Lent.
There were a lot of Poles in Pittsburgh when we lived there. I remember going to their social halls with some Polish co-workers and having some really great spreads at the wedding receptions and Confirmation parties. My church was mainly Italians and Germans and had lived in the neighborhood for generations. We had great pot-lucks and our carnival was the bomb! Our priest was hilarious. He wore his motorcycle boots (he rode a Harley Fatboy) under his robes at Mass and used to smoke cigarettes as he shook hands at the end of Mass. He danced a mean polka, too.
I used to beer-sway a mean polka. Good times. Good times.
I put on weight just reading this blog.
[…] And besides, what would Cruz know about Heller, anyway? […]
